Crstwhile the beart was 
poor and bare ; 
And somewhere on thy beabenward 
track 
Their music will come echoing back, 
And flood thy soul with melody, 
Such is Love's immortality.

Gp Robert Louis Stevenson 


€ beseech thee, 
Lord, to bebold us 
with favor, folk of 
manp families and 
nations, gathered 
together in the peace 
of this roof. Be 
patient still; suffer 
us awhile longer to 
endure, and (tf it 
map be), belp us to 
do better. less to us our ertraordinarp 
mercies. We with our friends; be with 
ourselves. Go with each of us to rest; if 
anp awake, temper to. them the vark hours 
of watching; and when the dap returns to 
us, call us up with morning faces and with 
motning hearts—eager to labor—eager to 
be bappp, if happiness shall be our portion 
—ant if the pap be marked for sorrow— 
strong to endure it. 


As a tired motber when the day fs o’er,

Still gazing at them tbrougb tbe open door,

By promises of otbers in their stead,
